Abstract: 28,026. Pelterie, R. Esnault-. Dec. 26, 1907, [date appliedfor under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Aerial machines adapted to travel on land; shock of landing, deadening.-A buffer to be applied to aerial machines to damp the shock of landing, while serving also as an elastic suspension for the machine when travelling along the ground before flight, comprises a tube 1 integral with the rod of the carrying- wheels and provided with a key 2 on which rests the collar 3, between which and a fixed collar 5 on the cylinder 6 a spring 4 is interposed. The tube 1, guided by the key 2 engaging in slots 8, is adapted to slide in the cylinder 6, which contains oil 19 and air 16 and is provided with a throttle valve 10 normally kept open by the spring 18, and an air valve 14 normally closed. Damping is thus effected by the combined action of the spring 4, the flow of oil 19 through the throttle valve 10, and the compression of the air above it. In a modification, Fig. 3, the spring 18 is dispensed with, the upward movement of the valve 10 being limited by the extension 12 of the perforated diaphragm 13.

Title: A New or Improved Stop Motion for Looms.
Inventor: JOHNSON ARTHUR
IPC: D03D49/58
Filed: 1909-12-02
Granted: 1910-05-26
Abstract: 28,124. Johnson, A., and Moorhouse, S. W. Dec. 2. Stop-motions; shuttle; stop-motions acting on failure of change-box motions.-Relates to dropbox looms which are automatically stopped when the spring catch securing the box - rod to its driving-chain becomes disconnected. A hook or ring j attached to a spring- controlled cord k becomes disengaged when the spring catch d yields and permits relative movement between a part g fixed on the box-rod c and a part i on the rod h driven by the chain f. A heavy lever q then falls and pulls down a wire s connected to a slotted lever t, which is caused to engage a hook 3 on the lay. A lever x is thus turned and draws to the left a hook z, which turns a lever 1 and throws over the setting-on handle 2. When the stop-rod of the loom has a dagger adapted to engage a fixed block on the breast beam, the loom may be brought to rest quickly by so arranging the lever x that its movement towards the left causes a sliding part to engage and turn the stop-rod dagger so as to engage the block on the breast beam. The hook 3 may be dispensed with, the lever t being rigidly secured to the lever x.
